I thought they were crazy when Spice Me opened--why would we need a third Thai restaurant in this small town? Now, several years later, they're the only one left standing! A 10-minute walk away down Kelly Ave.

For breakfast I recommend Taste Cafe--from crepes to chilaquiles to waffles to eggs Benedict, you can't go wrong. Located next to U.S. Bank in the Strawflower Shopping Center, less than 1 mile north on Hwy. 1.

You don't have to drive to Muir Woods to see beautiful redwoods; you can enjoy the peace and beauty of this preserve, just 15 minutes away. Parking is extremely limited (especially on weekends) so go early in the morning (before 9) if possible. Also, cell coverage may be spotty.
